Main description
Graffiti art is on the rise in Southeast Asia. Gradually, more and more confident young women are entering the vivid Indonesian graffiti writing scene to express themselves artistically on walls in the public spaces of mega-cities like Jakarta. In 2014, the Indonesian capital became the founding site of the first Southeast Asian graffiti network especially for women called “Ladies on Wall”. Pioneer and leader of the community is Bunga Fatia, a 29-year-old graphic designer living in Jakarta.
